Veganism ?

AsrarHussain

I was watching a documentary called what the health. Is it possible to go vegan and maintain muscle mass and gain size.
The documentary was really good.

I had my blood checked 2 weeks or so. The results came good. My cholesterol and kidney etc came back all good.

From all accounts, the documentary is full of bs and just spouts cherry picked info used to sensationalise their point.

If youre in good health, you're obviously doing OK. Why change? Eating a healthy, well balanced vegan diet requires a lot of effort imo, and supplementation for lacking nutrients.

Check out some of the other threads on these boards. The documentary contains a lot of bias, inaccuracies and fear-mongering.

That being said, a vegan diet is one of many that can help you meet the goals you've stated.

It is possible but it takes a lot of work to hit your protein goals and B12.

What the Health is not a documentary, it's poorly produced fiction and fearmongering. As far as evidence-based truth, it's a bogus pile of steaming poo. Even many reliable vegan sources have said it's over the top and ridiculous.

Nonetheless, it is possible (albeit challenging) to be a vegan bodybuilder.


[ETA:] That's not to say that veganism isn't a valid diet/lifestyle, if one so chooses. It certainly can be, with proper nutrition choices. Like any other diet/way of eating, there are also many perfectly good ways to screw it up and make it unhealthy.
